vortexring 0 #3 April 11, 2007 If I was the ronery North Korean President I believe priority A would be an arsenal of significant nukes - like, yeah! 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how long it takes to safely shut down a reactor. Do you? I don't know how long it takes either, but I guarantee you that I would account for that time so that it was shut down in time for the deadline. Assuming that I was planning on doing that anyway. We'll see after this weekend I guess.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Gawain 0 #5 April 14, 2007 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070414/ap_on_re_as/koreas_nuclear North Korea has now missed the deadline to shut the reactor down. Not only that, DPRK has not allowed UN personnel into the country and apparently South Korea has not sent any fuel-oil to the north.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Indeed, but imagine the political capital it could have been worth if DPRK met its deadline and showed the world of a western nation's failure to meet its end of the bargain. This indicates to me that they do not really wish to suspend their activity.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Political capital maybe, but thats not the way NK work. The U.S show hostility... NK show hostility, its a repeating cycle. Quote This indicates to me that they do not really wish to suspend their activity. Me neither, I doubt most people believe NK want to hit the off button, its even a meaningless gesture when you can just press on again anyway. Ultimately the discussion is really about denuclearization, a hypocritical issue that is not likely to come to fruition any time soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
